The FC Barcelona has one of the medullary zones more prodigious of Europe. In spite of the unlucky drop of Pablo Gavi, the one who will be out of fight by a period between six and eight months, the cast of Xavi Hernández still has big active for recomponer a zone of the field that, historically, has been the core of the good Barcelona game.
Nevertheless, although to the picture culé him sobran the 'jugones' in this plot of the terrain, being able to form a 'triangle' endowed of good game with Frenkie of Jong in zone of pivote, with Pedri and Ilkay Gündoğan more advanced. Even, the germano could split like base of the attack, leaving to the Dutch and to the Tenerifean like interiors, follows him being missing the spark, passion and work that contributes the '6' of the Barça and that the one of Terrassa so much has known to appreciate.
Splitting of this need, the technician egarense could begin to look to the bench, where enjoys of a player with a clearly similar profile to the of the Andalusian: Fermín López. The one of The Campillo has been able to print him another rhythm to the circuit of Barcelona game, contributing a dynamism that is not him sobrando to the Barça in this stretch of the campaign.
The options of Xavi to arm the centre of the field culé
The problem of the inclusion of the onubense in the eleven headline goes through the fact that that would motivate to that Xavi have to take out to one of the 'immovable' of the triangle Of Jong-Gündogan-Pedri or, flatly, break his diagram betting by an approach with four midfield players, in which one of them, probably by tactical disposal, Fermín, do the times of Gavi, starting in band and throwing each so much to collaborate in works in the medullary zone. A variation to this approach could go through create a square with the German and the Dutch in the base, with the onubense and the Tenerifean more advanced.
Another option goes through to populate the medullary zone without the '32', but forming a double pivote with Oriol Romeu and Frenkie of Jong, with Pedri and Gündogan with freedom of movement up. Nevertheless, this seems less likely, since the one of Ulldecona, although it has come restarting little by little the confidence in his game, his performances have not been the most brilliant, by what the bet by him luce something risky.
The 'problem' of the Barça if it decides to play with four midfield players
However, all these variants would pose another debate in the another sector of the field, the forward. Splitting of the premise that Robert Lewandowski presents like fixed headline, if it bets by the four means, independently that one of them fall by the left, only would remain a place in offensive to litigate by Joãor Félix, Ferran, Lamine Yamal and Raphinha.
It will be necessary to see finally which determination takes in the Barça, that will have to have a very strengthened diagram for the days that come him próximamente, having a hard duel in front of the Port wine in the Montjuïc, key for the aspirations of the Barcelona in plough to keep in the first place of the group H in the Champions. Besides, will have other two hard commitments in front of the Girona FC and the Athletic of Madrid, two key rivals on the way of the Barcelona to the first place of the table clasificatoria in LaLiga.
